I haven't attended a Convention since we hosted the 2011 convention here in the Washington, DC area, so I'm anxious to attend another. My wife and I are most likely going to attend, but will probably include the convention as part of a longer visit to France. We'll probably wait to register for the convention until the rest of our plans begin to firm up a bit.

Krissa33, is there a specific date in July they will decide if we get the venue? I am crossing my fingers it will go our way!

No. I called them by phone last week to ask if evrything is ok with all the papers I send, and they could not give me an exact date. The guy just said "in july"So sorry, I'm afraid that we must go on crossing our fingers...

I received from the City of Bordeaux an e-mail three days ago telling me that they will come together the first week of july, and they will inform me some days later - so next week please everybody cross all fingers!

I have crossed my fingers all week (imagitively, it was to difficult working and writing on the computer with fingers crossed:-) ) Hopefully it has helped:-)

from Thurs to Sun. Same place as last time but the nice little room I had on the top floor is no longer available. Now I just have to pay the rest of the registration fee and decide how I'm going to get there. Thinking of spending some time in Paris, before or after.

We've started making bookings. As mentioned earlier, I'm working on a roadtrip from Paris to Bordeaux. There are six of us so far, and we'll assemble in Paris the previous weekend, taking three days to drive down via Bayeux, Mont St Michel and St Malo, arriving Wednesday afternoon.

I've set up a Facebook private group for planning and discussion, let me know if you need an invite; I'd hate for anyone to feel excluded from having the opportunity.

Not a grand luxury tour; we're looking at minivans and AirBnbs. Probably a maximum of a dozen participants all told, enough to have dinner together comfortably.

I made some updates on the homepage (attendees, venue)If you are not on the list please tell me!For the moment I checked only the PayPal payements, the bank payments will come later

Thanks for adding my (nick)name to the list of attendees :-) I also expected a Mr. Boekentrol there (I added his name to my registration, for he has no real BC nickname). I did see Mrs. Skyring, M. Teachie and M. Romney. Did I do wrong and did I have to fill in a form form Mr. Boekentrol as well? I did pay by SEPA for both of us. Please let me know!

No problem!

I checked the list of attendees again, and I was surprised to see that Mr. Boekentrol has disappeared off the list, but also the payment for the both of us. Could you please double check, since you confirmed earlier that our payment (2 times early bird price) had been received?

Please put me back on the list of attendees - I noticed yesterday that I am not listed any longer.

Yesterday we received 40 € on PayPal, but without a nicknameWho was it please?The same person who filled the register form without à nickname...Could you please send a PM to tell us who you are?Thank you!

- Note in the PM your preferences, what you like, what you hate (to avoid surprises)Nickname:I like:I do not like:

- Update your wish list on the BC site

- Prepare your package for your NSS-partner. There must be at least one book with BCID and at least one other gift. You make according to your possibilities and your means

- Put your gift on the table provided during the Convention.

With the BCID, your partner will discover your identity

Registration deadline: 10 March 2018Between 10 and 15 March 2018, you will receive your partner's nickname, and his/her preferences. It gives you time to prepare your parcel, and make some nice gift package

And finally, you will discover on the NSS-table the package left for you

Just sent my payment in. I was all set to send it in a month or two ago but there was some potential change in my job, which may affect whether I can go or not. Thankfully it all work out in a very good way, and in time for me to take advantage of the early bird discount.

I'm looking through the list of participants and wonder if the list is updated? I see a few that I miss and wonder if I should give them a nudge.

The list is not really updated, but all money arrived and I'll update this week endSorry I'm a little late

Can you please advise if the list is up to date now, I sent payment for 3 Irish bookcrossers, Azureskippy, Roxy 4 and Leamhliom on the 25th of January but I cannot see their names on the list of attendees. Many thanks
